Feldkirch

Inside these walls, the historic old Montfort city of Feldkirch seems quite urban, downright mondaine; it is rewarding to stroll through the porticoed old lanes past the historic bourgeois homes in the Marktgasse street, before retiring to the ‘Rauch’ for a bit of sustenance. Once inside, you note that the world is buzzing with activity: breakfast, a mid-morning glass of wine, or dinner in the evening with a extended helix of courses. The cuisine is creative and emphatically light. Finest ingredients from the region are obligatory, accompanied by a bevy of wines from the Lake Constance region add a pleasant dot on the proverbial i of the wine list.
